what mqn, KS?

mqn as in mqn.exe 6 months ago. haha

now mqn is 2 PC setup. cannot get it to sound good. give up.

could you re-write MS wasapi code (for exclusive mode) then wasapi will be better than currently KS software players now, hehe...

hehe... let me make phone call to bill gate.... he said he is replacing you as the head of department of windows audio.

i notice one interesting thing. software players that use intel SSE has very unstable soundstage. always changing.

non-SSE software players much more stable.

SSE has one best weapon- airy+smooth.

do you think you can beat SSE in airy+smooth? xa1060a makes sound very very airy/smooth/shiny/oily. seems unreal

i tried use SSE2 (in first lekt versions, didn't try SSE4), bad result, now forgot about SSE, very hard control of soundstage. some settings in compiler also give more vibration, but bad soundstage, there's false vibration, smooth = noise.
intel SSE technologue good for computer performance but maybe not good for audio. as i said you, transfer audio data must be: fast (enough speed, ignore latency) + regularly (stable electrical elements). transfer by cable or wifi, all these methods affect to DAC's converting to analog electrical wave, if not regularly then raises electrical shock, and sound wave will be bad. very hard control of electrical factor, only good DAC can cover it.

uploaded v2.67 256 , v2.67.1 256 , improved vibration. i prefer v2.67, feel very good emotion of vocal, sweet and romantic. v2.67.1 more clean. try them and enjoy!

2.67 and 2.67.1 are actually my favorite type of soundstage. it makes me focus on music. this soundstage usually gives max-micro details and has least issues.

2.67 is pushing to the limit! it is at the edge of intense emotion. i feel intense. but i don't think intense. maybe my OS is intense. not sure. or is the volume too much? especially for female vocal is loud and emotional, my ears cannot handle it.
2.67.1. also good air+clean (not as good as 2.67). more easily natural.

actually prefer 2.67.1.
2.67 should be better. my OS can't drive 2.67 hehe

2.67 makes me start to think my service tweaks is wrong. going to redo it this weekend.
2.67 feels very correct.

2.67 and 2.67.1 height enough?

v2.67 have little intense. i think 2 these versions have normal height but sound need more rising up.

notice something interesting

best SQ:
mqn needs run as admin + disable DPI + change affinity
xa needs run as admin + disable DPI + realtime
lekt needs admin + disable DPI

uploaded v2.67.2 256 , sound have rising up, and texture changed, maybe better than old 2.67x. try it.
